Hello,

I have been watching this thread as well but haven't yet chimed in.

I have seen two issues with my HD-PVR

1) 0 length recordings.  I had several of these when I first got my 
HD-PVR ( in Dec of 2010 ).  I switched to using streaming instead of NFS 
for recordings and this issue cleared up.  I haven't had any zero size 
in a month or so.
2) Audio Sync over SPDIF.  I have a dish vip211 receiver connected to my 
HD-PVR.  I get audio sync issues in maybe one in three recordings.  I 
moved to a stereo connection today because it drove my wife crazy.  I am 
still looking for a solution to this problem.  I am on the 0x15 firmware 
which according to Hauppauge's web site should fix this issue but 
clearly doesn't resolve it for everyone.
